Why do divorced women have so many dogs?
Posted: 1/5/2008 11:37:28 PM
Well as a divorced woman, I only have one dog. All my divorced friends have cats. I always thought that they became cat ladies... isn't that the stereo type LOL

I only have one dog and he is old and once he is gone, no more. No kids at home, no dog at home. I will be able to come and go as I please.

One thought about why they might have so many, unconditional love!

I have A dog. She doesn't drink beer. She doesn't whinge when I visit my family. She cleans her feeding bowl. She loves me unconditionally. She doesn't like the footy or the wrestling. She doesn't have her friends around screaming "scull scull scull". She doesnt 'time' me when I go to the shops. She never tells me what I should be wearing.....dog or man?.....mmmmm let me think about it.

I generally try to avoid women with dogs. Most of those women love dogs more than men. Some are controlling type bossy women, they can have more control over a dog. They would rather trust and be with an animal. The man is in second place to a dog, sad but true in many cases.

Totally true, but it sure ain't sad. When men start being as nice as dogs, we'll start putting the men first.

The main reason, like the responses on here, is unconditional love. Also, a sense of companionship. I was both a dog owner and a cat owner. Had a cat, but gave it to my mom when I had to move after graduation. Nothing is great when coming home and feel wanted and loved. Coming home with your pet waiting for you and rushing after you.

We can learn alot from our pets, like when our spouses come home from work just atleast greet and make them feel wanted...not demand a beer as soon they walk through the door...hah.

I love getting puppies and kittens when they are like 1 week old and raising them up!

It's not the same as getitng an aged cat or dog, they form such a sweet bond with you get them young.

I am Legend (the movie) has a great example of it. The only friend Will Smith has is a cute puppy by the name of Samantha. I suggest you watch it = ) I want one!

Maybe your questioned would be better posed to the divorcée(s) that you speak of. Generalizations are very uncool....

Don't know, but I love my kids and my dog! And the dog will stay a baby for the most part! Sweet! I have a pug named Otis, and if there are any pug lovers out there, I would love to hear from you.

I don't have a dog, but I have a blue budgie who's 12 and when she's gone? No more pets, I want to be free to travel at the drop of a hat!

As much as I dislike most cats I would probably choose one over a dog for the simple fact that having a dog in the city just wouldn't work for me. Cats are obnoxiously independent and that would be better.

But... I hate litter boxes. Therefore...

I might get a fish.

I'm supposed to have a dog???? NO one told me. I'm not a dog person. I do like English bulldogs however. I did have one at one time in the last 15 yrs since my divorce. After he died, I said no more. Dogs are too complicated. Cats are much easier. I have two.

I had 2 dogs when I was married and I have 2 dogs now. None of my children have left the nest so to speak. Dogs give unconditional love. You feed them they adore you, you let them out they adore you, you play with them they adore you, you let them sleep in the bed with you, they are just like men, they hog it, but they still adore you.

cassago Quote-Those are not divorced women, those are lesbians

Only a man could say something like that,you sure you're not hiding something?????
what a truly dumb thing to say !
I have 2 dogs and 3 kids living at home.My dogs are not a substitute for my children. We have dogs because we love them. They are loyal, loving, don't answer back and are always pleased to see you. Where can you find a man like that ?????

Bahahahahaha... it usually means the men didn't want to take care of them when they were divorced. :P

I kid.

Maybe they like dogs more because they can be an alarm system or protection?

They probably just like the companionship of a dog.

They ARE needy, after all, and dependent. Hmmmm... maybe their previous husbands were too? :P

Sometimes it's hard to break away from what you're used to.

Someone's gonna give me crap for this.... I just know it. :P

melbasmooch-
1) it usually means the men didn't want to take care of them when they were divorced-

where did you find this wonderful piece of information ? I'm sure all us divorced women would love to know.

2)They ARE needy, after all, and dependent-

divorced women are not necessarily needy.In fact, you will probably find that divorced women are stronger and not at all needy,unlike a lot of younger single women who have not yet enjoyed the wonderful enjoyment marriage can bring (yes,I am being sarcastic !) being divorced does not mean you are desperate ! If anything, you actually get fussier and won't just settle for 2nd best anymore !

All I can say is that you really are ignorant beyond belief !
